I started at Digital as a Senior Project Manager and worked my way to Senior Information Systems consultant. I worked on Locke Drive in Marlborough, in Franklin, and then in Hudson.( Hudson is where the Alpha chip was manufactured.)
I did custom design and development of programs and systems for internal departments like Materials Planning, Order Fulfillment, Sales and Marketing, Manufacturing, and Purchasing. Most of the work was for "lights-out" processing, with some work for "paperless" processing (for the white rooms).
